Itto, a young woman from a modest rural background, is slowly adapting to the Moroccan privileged codes of her husband’s family. When supernatural events put the country in a state of emergency, Itto finds herself separated from her husband and new family. Alone, pregnant and looking for her way back, she finds emancipation.
